“do yourself a favor - arrange some flowers with Elise in her backyard. ❤️ 🌺” - Emily Mortimer on Instagram
“What a Wonderful course! Elise teaches so much in an hour and 1/2....from care of flowers to maximise "shelf life", use of tools, flower characteristics, but best of all step by step encouragement as we built our arrangements. There was personalized instruction with lots of positive reinforcement so I was willing to try things that were out of my boring comfort zone. I feel much more confident playing with flowers now. Thanks Elise-- I've just signed up for another of your classes.”
"We really enjoyed Elise’s class very much and we had a lot of fun! You had some great tips and advice and we learned quite a few very useful guidelines and principles of floral arrangement."
“Fabulous class! Need more like this please!” - student at Brooklyn Botanic Garden
From a recent student:
I recently took a private lesson with Elise and had such a lovely time. She was very quick to respond to my booking request and was very patient in working out a time that fit both of our busy schedules.
I've been wanting to take a flower arranging lesson for a long time and learning from Elise was a great introduction. She and I both share dance backgrounds and she taught me that choreography isn't just for the stage.
We started the class with personal histories and a short lesson on introductory concepts. Once I had that under my belt, we jumped right in. This was a little intimidating at first, but Elise was such a great instructor that it didn't even matter. She left room for me to be creative and guided me when she saw the need.
An added bonus was that Elise arranged for the class to be in the outdoor seating area of a local dessert spot. In addition to making an arrangement that I got to take home, we also created smaller arrangements for each table. I had such a great time and can't wait to continue arranging flowers. Highly recommend a lesson with Elise!
